A novel homozygous frameshift variant in the cellular retinaldehyde-binding protein 1 ( RLBP1 ) gene causes retinitis punctata albescens
Abstract
Background: Retinitis punctata albescens is a form of retinitis pigmentosa characterized by white fleck-like deposits in the fundus, in most cases caused by pathogenic variants in RLBP1 gene. The purpose of this work is to report the phenotypic and genotypic data of a patient with retinitis punctata albescens carrying a deletion in the RLBP1 gene. Results: An 8-year-old Caucasian female has been complaining of nyctalopia for the last 2 years. No other ocular symptoms were present. No relevant past medical or familiar history was described. At clinical examination, the patient’s best-corrected visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes. Anterior segment evaluation and intraocular pressure were normal in both eyes. At fundoscopy, multiple punctate whitish-yellow fleck-like lesions were observed in the proximity of temporal superior and inferior vascular arcades. Scotopic electroretinogram demonstrated severely reduced rod response, without improvement or recovery of rod system function after prolonged dark adaptation. Blood DNA samples of this patient and from her parents were screened for causal variants in RLBP1, RDH5, and PRPH2. Conclusion: A probable pathogenic frameshift variant was identified in homozygosity in the RLBP1 gene with an autosomal recessive transmission as another cause of retinitis punctata albescens. This DNA variant will aid ongoing functional studies and add to our understanding of the molecular pathology about RLBP1-associated retinopathies.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
